Abstract

YNiIn and YCuIn form complete solid solutions YNiIn_1−xAl_x and YCuIn_1−xAl_x, which were characterized on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction. The ZrNiAl type crystal structures (space groups P 6 ‾ 2 m ) of YNiAl (a = 0.70386(9), c = 0.38327(4) nm, wR ₂ = 0.0424), YNiIn_0.77Al_0.23 (a = 0.73895(9), c = 0.37707(4) nm, wR ₂ = 0.0498) and YCuIn_0.63Al_0.37 (a = 0.73404(7), c = 0.39045(4) nm, wR ₂ = 0.0314) were refined from the single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Exemplarily the electronic structure of YNiAl was studied, manifesting substantial Ni–Al bonding within the three-dimensional [NiAl] substructure. Comparison of YNiAl with isotypic YNiIn shows stronger Ni–Al bonding as compared to Ni–In. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of YNiIn_1−xAl_x (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.7 and 0.9), YNiIn and YNiAl in the temperature range 3–300 K indicated Pauli paramagnetic behaviour with molar magnetic susceptibility of about 0.15–0.22 × 10⁻³ emu/mol.

Keywords: crystal growth; crystal structure; electronic structure; magnetic susceptibility
